In case I don't say it enough, I really do feel fortunate for my friends out there. Tonight, after probably two years and only the second time in about 7, I saw Brandon, a really good friend from school. He was playing with his band Elixyr who did a great job, very Blues Traveler-esque. Brandon had some rough times in his life, but I always thought he was pretty cool, though things just *happen* sometimes. Anyway, it was nice seeing him again.
And coffee with Chrissy, another friend from high school (and actually first met her all the way back in Kindergarten), I need to see more of Chrissy.
And everyone else - Ian, Jess, Kristin, Carl, Carrie, Holly, Ryan, Adam, Sara, Megan, Dottie, Jim, Lori, Phil and Kacie (who I need to go visit in Colorado), and oh geez all the rest who will likely be pissed off that they're not mentioned directly although I don't mean any slight by it.
Trying to get all of the names in there, now I know what it's like to write an Oscar acceptance speech. So if I missed you, just remember that even Hilary Swank forgot to mention her husband when she won Best Actress. ;) |

Ok, so I *know* I've been bad about updating this week. Blame my reading, as for some reason, when I go through reading spurts (most recently Orson Scott Card's Ender series), I'm REALLY lazy about writing.
As most of my friends know, I've been slowly working at a novel for some time. I think the reason why my writing doesn't come along faster (in the case of fiction - I could whip out an article in 20 minutes sometimes when I wrote for the Des Moines Register) is because I'm such a fast reader. You see, I want to write what I want to read - stories that I like the concept of and want to explore - and because I can't write anywhere NEAR as fast as I can read (something like 1400 wpm reading), it's frustrating because it seems so dang slow!
But as my five readers as my witnesses, I will get my novel done one day! |
